[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who cares, the focus is on bringing up the bottom, not challenging every level including the top. [/quote] That seems true. I actually think that the system is fine. HGC is available for the kids who really need it and I've seen no evidence that the other bright kids aren't accommodated. [/quote] There is a lot of evidence that bright kids aren't accommodated at our school, and it's one of the "best" in the county. Wish I understood that back when the HGC forms came home.[/quote] Could someone actually offer up this evidence? I hear all the time from people "my kid reads on a 12th grade level" followed almost immediately by "MCPS isn't meeting their needs". It seems to me that either they gained those skills in part due to instruction, or they are a child who learn well without needing instruction. Either way, it seems that MCPS is meeting their needs.[/quote]
